Nov. 7 — Film screening of ‘Dolores’ to be held at UCSB

A film about a rebel, activist, feminist and mother Dolores Huerta. Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Huerta tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the 20th century, and she continues the fight to this day. With unprecedented access to this intensely-private mother of 11, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change. (Peter Bratt, 2017, 95 min.)
